SMTV selling +2m is big.

I would've loved to see P4AU numbers after the botched PC port. I bet it still sold OK.

Yeah, the intro is too long, but apparently the HD remaster makes it skippable.

My issue with the gameplay is two-fold: (1) I don't typically enjoy the Zelda-like, semi-open-world discovery, and (2) for a Kamiya game, combat is surprisingly too easy?

I'll probably have moderate amount of fun playing it, but I don't predict I'll hang out for the 100% after, which's why I'll wait for the historical low.

Okami to $3.75 out of historical interest. It's not really my kind of game, but as a fan of The Wonderful 101, I'd like to trace the genealogy of the wonder-liner back to the celestial brush.

It will also be nice to own another Kamiya game.

This take sucks. There's a clear cap on what indies can do because they have a limited budget. Whatever their output is, it's not comparable to big studios output.

What the market lacks is quirky games on a medium budget, which's not what indie scenes provide.

Happens with any industry that gets big, I think. More profits=more suits/vampires coming in and replacing artists/scientists or whoever is more qualified to make key decisions.

This won't stop unless infinite wealth hoarding is tackled by governments, if ever.

Sure, but look at the PS2 catalog, for example—way more weird games with relatively high production for the time.

Daaaamn, DMC on GOG? Let's go Capcom!!! Love seeing more action games on there.

i already own Bayonetta and The Wonderful 101 on Steam, but I wouldn't mind double dipping if Platinum/SEGA follow suit.

Hmm… metroidvanias never really stick the landing for me, but I had fun playing through SotN back in the day, and I'll shout out a couple of modern ones with fun combat: F.I.S.T: Forged in Shadow Torch and Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown.

I never posted anything from my PoP gameplay, but this is a clip showcasing on-the-fly weapon switching in F.I.S.T: https://video.hardlimit.com/videos/watch/9ba87a0a-ae01-4931-8d74-58e38dddb621

Fun fact: I never ever even heard the name Toshiro Mifune.

I just can't… why do people wear ignorance as a badge of honor nowadays?

I only play 3 genres, so I probably won't be of much help:

1. For action games, my go to is Combat Overview.
2. For shmups, TheElectricUnderground.
3. For fighting games, I don't watch anyone in particular, but you can't go wrong with Sajam/Max.

My only rule is: the reviewer's level of interest in/knowledge about the genre has to match mine.

I watched the highlights of dunkey's stream the other day and laughed out loud a number of times, TBF.

I think Juzou and Genichiro is where I stopped. Game's offense is so boring I realized I'll have much more fun if I replay Ninja Gaiden 2 again, so I went and did that instead.
